457: Unknown Number: The High School Catfish

Author: True Crime Obsessed September 30, 2025 Duration: 1:29:17
FAM!!! We had A LOT to say about this documentary, along with some differing opinions between the two of us, so strap in for a super-sized roller coaster of an episode today!

Lauryn and her boyfriend Owen were just young teens (13!!) when they started receiving harassing, disturbing, and disgusting text messages from an unknown source. The identity of the texter has been blowing minds across the whole damn internet, but in case you haven't heard, we won't spoil it here, but... your mind will be blown, too.

And you can check out the article in The Cut we reference here.

If you've ever found yourself deep in a documentary rabbit hole, captivated by a real-life mystery but needing a friend to process it all with, you've found your people. True Crime Obsessed is the place where gripping stories meet genuine conversation and unexpected laughter. Each episode, the hosts dive into a true crime documentary, breaking down the facts, the filmmaking, and the often-bizarre details that these stories unearth. It's less about the shock value and more about the shared experience of trying to understand the incomprehensible, all through the unique lens of people who are, well, obsessed. You'll hear passionate recaps, thoughtful commentary, and the kind of relatable reactions-from outrage to darkly comedic disbelief-that happen when you're watching from your couch. This podcast lives in the space between Society and Culture, treating these real narratives with the gravity they deserve while acknowledging the catharsis of discussing them with a sense of community and even humor. It’s for anyone who analyzes every frame, questions every interview, and then immediately needs to talk about it. Join the obsession.
